ISM 2.0 is approved, and SEMICON India 2026 has just shown what it looks like in practice.
Here is what actually happened, and what it means for chip designers.
On design, MeitY says Semicon 1.0 trained 70,000 design engineers and put EDA tools in 500+ organisations.
The PM met 20 students who presented 20 chips they designed, fabricated and tested.
The India-designed SenseSoC-200 is going into smart meters.
The Gujarat State Electronics Mission successfully hosted MANTHAN, a stakeholder roundtable dedicated to strengthening Gujarat's semiconductor design and fabless innovation ecosystem.
Bringing together industry leaders, startups, academia, and ecosystem stakeholders, the discussion focused on key enablers required to accelerate semiconductor design-led growth in the state. Key themes included access to EDA tools and design infrastructure, IP development, tape-out and foundry access, testing and validation facilities, startup support, skilled talent, funding, and stronger industry-academia collaboration. Participants also emphasized the need for shared infrastructure, incubation support, and product-oriented innovation to help transform ideas into globally competitive semiconductor products.
The insights and actionable recommendations emerging from MANTHAN will contribute towards shaping a vibrant semiconductor design ecosystem and support the continued evolution of Gujarat's semiconductor policy and innovation framework.

Design without local packaging and test is still an import dependency in disguise. Partnering with @kaynessemicon on QFN40/QFN64 and SiP DfM means our modules go from design to manufacturable product without leaving India. That's what been missing.

ISC-VEGA-SOM launched at Semicon India 2026.
Union Minister Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw Vaishnaw was present and picked up the module himself.
Designed in India. Built around VEGA THEJAS32, an Indian RISC-V processor, with LoRa on board.

Congratulations to IndieSemiC on the successful development of the ISC-VEGA-SOM, India’s first indigenous System-on-Module integrating C-DAC’s VEGA Thejas32 processor with a globally certified LoRa RF Module.
Developed under the Industry Support Centre, a MeitY-funded innovation support initiative of C-DAC, this achievement represents an important milestone in strengthening India's indigenous semiconductor and embedded systems ecosystem.
We applaud the IndieSemiC and C-DAC teams for advancing indigenous innovation and promoting next-generation electronics and IoT solutions from India.

Matter 1.6 shipped in June 2026 with no new device categories, but real upgrades to setup, multi-ecosystem coordination, and context-aware control. Since Jan 2026, new Thread border routers must certify against Thread 1.4, not 1.3.
For India, this lands at the right time: the smart home market is ~$6.71B in 2026, projected to hit ~$24.1B by 2031 (29%+ CAGR). Analysts cite Matter, alongside 5G expansion and rooftop-solar incentives, as one of the forces behind that curve.
🚀 IndieSemiC's LoRa module ISC-SX1262-B is now FCC, CE & RoHS certified.
Designed in India. Built on @SemtechCorp SX1262. Ready for global export. 🌍
